We performed a comparison between Oracle WebLogic Server and Tomcat based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"The product's installation phase is easy."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"It's a very stable solution."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"Tomcat is user-friendly and easy to set up, especially compared to WebLogic or JBoss where some specialty is required. If you are going for Tomcat, you can use their guidelines and can set it up easily."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"The solution integrates smoothly with the development environment. The integration process is straightforward. You only need to configure the project in your IDE. With intelligent features, the integration becomes even easier. Once integrated, deployment into our application is straightforward. Previously, we sometimes relied on manual deployment processes or used a separate application manager. However, with this solution, deployment is simplified."
"The deployment process is very fast."
"The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working."
"Tomcat is easy to handle, its installation process does not take much time, and its server speed is also very good compared to other servers."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"I've had issues with some of the tracking features tracking and have had to go back to several generations of code to fix problems where things were touched."
"In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually."
"The integration could be improved."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution."
"If it could support the driver's VIN, they can run natively without the GBM. Now, we can run what we call the native cloud application that doesn't require GBM. If Tomcat can support that, it's going to improve performance and backup."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
"Java functions should be built better into the solution."
"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."
"The solution's interface and backup features could be better."
"The solution cannot host .NET applications."
"Tomcat could be a little bit more innovative. Tomcat could come up with a framework that's more lightweight and purely targeted at Java applications."
"Tomcat's performance is less than other solutions like IBM WebSphere or JBoss."
